How Feder counts it
- Feder reads each day's count of page views and sessions from your Google Analytics property.
- The events you mark as key events in Google Analytics count as wins, each one by its own name.
- Google takes time to finish a day's numbers, so Feder judges a day only once Google has had that time.
- The connection needs permission to read your Analytics data.
What Feder does not read from Google Analytics
- Experience. No survey or NPS data.
What does Feder check on Google Analytics's numbers?
- A day the app did not report shows as Not read. It is never shown as zero.
- A read that fails, or comes back in the wrong shape, is a failed read. It is never counted as zero.
- A trend shows only when both halves of the window are known.

Questions owners ask about Google Analytics
- Why did Google Analytics stop collecting data?The tag that sends visits to Google Analytics is missing from your site, often after a site, theme or app change.

- Why is yesterday's data missing in Google Analytics?Google Analytics can take one to two days to finish processing a day's data.
- Why is Google Analytics hiding some of my data (thresholding applied)?Google Analytics holds back some numbers so that nobody looking at a report can work out who an individual visitor is.
- Why does Google Analytics show so much (direct) / (none) traffic?If the links people click to reach you carry no campaign tags, Google Analytics may not know where the visit came from.
- Why is my Google Analytics traffic Unassigned?Unassigned means Analytics could not fit the visit into any of its channels, like search, social or email.
